Generic CI/CD Integration

In cases where there is no direct or documented integration available, the Dokku project provides an Official Docker Image for use in Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) systems.

Assuming a Docker image can be run as a CI task with environment variables injected, the following CI systems will have their variables automatically detected:

• circleci
• cloudbees
• drone
• github actions
• gitlab-ci
• semaphoreci
• travisci

Simple Usage

The simplest usage of the image is as follows.

# where the `.env` file contains `GIT_REMOTE_URL` and `SSH_PRIVATE_KEY`

docker run --rm -v="$PWD:/app" --env-file=.env dokku/ci-docker-image dokku-deploy
